The deal also includes access to Valuation Anywhere, cap hpi’s flagship web-based valuations tool for automotive sales professionals. Every day thousands of automotive businesses rely on this digital online tool to generate accurate valuations for cars, bikes and commercial vehicles, supporting their business decisions and gaining access to 62,000 car ID’s and mileage-adjusted valuations within seconds.

The move to use provenance and NMR data further consolidates the relationship between JCT 600 and cap hpi. The leading dealer group already uses cap hpi’s expansive automotive data set for vehicle valuations, helping it to effectively manage risk and increase profit across its network of showrooms and forecourts.

As one of the UK’s largest and most highly respected motor retailers, JCT 600 represents 21 of the world’s most iconic auto brands at 51 locations throughout Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the North East.

In 2018, the family business announced record sales of £1.251 billion and increasing profits, having established itself as one of the most trusted names in Yorkshire for generations of loyal customers. It has a 2,300-strong team including over a hundred apprentices and has been recognised in the Sunday Times ‘Best 100 Companies to Work For’ list.
